New algae species as sustainable source for bioactive nutrients for human nutrition

objectives:

• Utilization of new algae for human nutrition (compensation of nutrient supply bottlenecks, source of healthy nutrients to reduce the risk of disease)

• Investigation of microalgae previously not used in human nutrition regarding the nutrient composition (macro- and micronutrients) and bioavailability including food safety

• Production of functional algae biomass as a sustainable source of essential, healthy ingredients (omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins) in the diet

funding period:

2017, oct. 01^st - 2020, sep 30^th
